Mindfulness, a useful mental discipline, is a technique that Westerners believe is derived from the Buddhist tradition (it is much older than that). Nowadays it is increasingly employed by psychotherapists to alleviate a variety of mental and physical conditions.

Mindfulness, a useful mental discipline, is a technique that Westerners believe is derived from the Buddhist tradition (it is much older than that). Nowadays it is increasingly employed by psychotherapists to alleviate a variety of mental and physical conditions. The therapeutic benefit is that, by retraining a person’s self-consciousness to the present, we limit the time they spend misusing their imagination by catastrophising, which so often significantly adds to their distress.

On this course Mindfulness is described and its value explained in detail, including how it corresponds to certain aspects of the human givens approach. Throughout the day a number of exercises will give you the opportunity to experience mindfulness for yourself and learn how to teach it to patients.
